I caught a Pokémon

Come on, this isn't just a battle between Pokémon, it's the ultimate tug-of-war between you and me!

Let's see if you're trying to play me, or if I'm playing you!

Having made up her mind, Xia You glanced at Ya Mi and, seeing that she was also out of the attack range, felt completely relieved. She then stopped paying attention to the Flowing Planet and calmly looked up at the sky, calmly directing the Charizard to dodge.

After all, the power of a meteor shower is extremely strong, and even a Charizard cannot easily meet this attack with its body.

At the same time, Zhu Lan, who was standing opposite, also turned her gaze away from the meteor shower and looked at Xia You with a smile in her eyes.

Let's see how you try to dodge!

Chapter 1054 Hey, easy peasy

Seven or eight huge meteors, mixed with a dozen or so smaller meteors, fell from the sky, their tails trailing long, burning trails as they hurtled downwards at an angle.

It was fast and urgent.

However, since it was created and summoned by Pokémon using their power, its power is far inferior to that of real meteorites in space, despite having the name of a meteor.

Of course, this is only relative.

Such attacks remain a significant threat to Pokémon, humans, and even some buildings.

No one wants to withstand such an attack.

In Zhu Lan's view, using this move had the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Firstly, it's about limiting Charizard's offensive capabilities; it would be even better if it could inflict damage on it. Secondly, I also want to see Xia You flee in a sorry state.

This can be considered a form of revenge she took after all the previous incidents.

However, she didn't really intend to hurt the man. After all, even a fool would know to dodge such an attack. She just wanted to see what he would look like when he fled in a sorry state in front of her.

This could be considered a small, quirky quirk that suddenly appeared in Zhulan's mind.

The thought that it was Xia You who did this made her feel even happier.

only……

As the shooting star drew closer, the man remained unmoved, causing Zhu Lan to unconsciously frown.

You're really good at keeping your composure!

The meteorite is about to fall, and you're still pretending to be calm?

How can you still be in the mood to command your Pokémon in battle?

Fine, let's see how you're going to clean this up!

Zhu Lan's lips curled into a cold smile, seemingly convinced that Xia You was just putting on an act. However, as the meteorite drew closer, her heart couldn't help but pound with anticipation.

After all, apart from glancing at it at the very beginning, the man's attention has not been focused on the meteorite since, which is extremely abnormal!

What is he up to?

If we don't run now, it will really be too late!

She was astonished, especially when she saw Charizard bypass the meteor shower and launch another attack on Mega Garchomp under Xia You's command. She was extremely shocked!

He... he didn't even care about his own safety!?

Zhu Lan was very puzzled.

After glancing at Xia You in disbelief, she happened to meet the man's ambiguous gaze.

In an instant, she understood everything.

hateful!

He never intended to dodge!

Has he gone mad?!

Cynthia was startled by her own thought. In all her years as a trainer, she had never seen anyone so irresponsible about their own life!

But then she realized why the man was doing this.

This means they've handed the difficult problem over to themselves!

He was the one who launched the attack, but now Xia You has chosen not to dodge or evade. Should he just watch him get caught in the crossfire, or remain indifferent?

What's going on?!

I just wanted to see how he would awkwardly dodge, how did it turn out like this?

It can be said that Xia You used a single, unchanging tactic to outmaneuver Zhu Lan, thus putting her to the test.

If Zhu Lan hadn't used that meteor shower move, and she had just been a passerby, then given her impression of Xia You and their relationship, she would definitely have stood by and watched, or rather, she would have watched to see what kind of miserable end he would get.

She simply didn't believe that this man could remain indifferent in the face of such danger.

but now……

But she didn't dare to gamble like that.

Who told me to bring this upon myself?

Moreover, she knew very well that this man was also gambling on whether she would make a move!

hateful!

Seeing the shooting star falling lower and lower, Zhu Lan knew that if she didn't do something soon, it would be too late.

But after glancing at the Garchomp that had been chased far away by Charizard, she knew it was too late to get it back. With that thought, she gritted her teeth and strode towards Xia You.

Even if a meteor falls very slowly, it still feels very fast to humans.

They may appear to be thousands or hundreds of meters away, but within two or three seconds, they could fall to the surrounding area.

Before Cynthia set off, Xia You had already prepared to be protected by Gengar, but when he saw the woman running towards him with a frown, he knew that he had not guessed wrong.

Bamboo orchid, oh bamboo orchid...

No wonder he's the Sinnoh champion!

You really wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, that's definitely your style!

Xia You could already feel the heat of the shooting star above his head, but in the next second, Zhu Lan ran in front of him. With a push and a pull from her hands, Xia You felt a great force strike him. Then the scenery in front of him changed, and he was thrown backward, rolling with Zhu Lan on the grass a few meters away.

Just then, all the meteors, big and small, fell down in a volley, creating a deafening roar that affected the spot where he had just been standing.

Ultimately, it was formed by Pokémon using their power.

Although it looks impressive, it is quite different from meteors that actually fall from outer space.

Even so, Xia You still felt a wave of scorching heat wash over him.

Almost instinctively, he shielded Zhu Lan in front of himself.

Zhu Lan's eyelids twitched repeatedly, her face ashen.

Although he was the one who set off the meteor shower, he had just saved him, yet this man actually used himself to shield himself from the impact of the explosion!?

Although the impact had passed and I wasn't affected by the blast wave, it was still as awful as I remembered!

She was about to say something when she suddenly realized just how indecent their actions were.

Compared to their earlier entanglement in the warehouse, they were now completely intertwined and lay on the grass, their bodies pressed tightly together, looking incredibly intimate.

But only Zhu Lan knew how embarrassed she was right now.

Because of her tall stature, the height difference between her and Xia You was not so obvious, so she was pressed against Xia You's chest, and Xia You could even feel her softness and shape!

The meteor struck the ground, sending up sparks and smoke.

Seeing Xia You narrowly avoid danger, Ya Mi, who had been worried for a long time, went around in a big circle and came to the side from a safe place.

But when she looked over, she immediately saw Xia You and Zhu Lan embracing each other.

For a moment, her feelings were very complicated.

But he was just a pushover to be manipulated by Xia You, not daring to argue, not daring to ask, not daring to think. His concern for Xia You's safety completely overwhelmed any other uncomfortable thoughts.

She quickened her pace, intending to help the two of them up, but before she could get close, she saw that Zhu Lan had already climbed off Xia You.

This time, before Zhu Lan could speak, Xia You, who hadn't even gotten up yet, simply shrugged at her.

"I know what you're going to say, but this time I really didn't do anything!"

Chapter 1055 Yami's Plan

It was precisely because Xia You did nothing that Zhu Lan became even angrier.

If he had dodged it himself, I wouldn't have needed to save him, nor would I have needed to let him take advantage of me again!

But she simply couldn't bring herself to say those words, since it was obvious the other party wanted her to come and save him!

Most importantly, she did order the meteor shower to be used, so from that perspective, everything was caused by her own actions.

But what's infuriating is that this man actually put on a show of being the one who suffered a loss!

What? You feel wronged just because I hugged you?!

Cynthia was angry, but she had to admit that, just like his Pokémon, this man was really hard to deal with!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Lan tried to stop thinking about these things and calm herself down.

She had realized that she, who was usually calm and composed, was too easily swayed by emotions in front of this man, which was very strange.

Where has my composure gone?

Although she didn't understand what was wrong with her, she knew she couldn't let this man lead her by the nose anymore!

Zhu Lan took a few steps back and moved away from Xia You.

In the sky, Mega Garchomp and Charizard naturally noticed the changes on the ground and saw that the two trainers were almost affected by the attack. They were puzzled, but out of concern for the trainers' safety, they stopped fighting and returned to Xia You and Zhu Lan's side.

Although they've stopped fighting, they're both eyeing each other warily.

"You are fine!"

Zhu Lan stared at Xia You, her eyes narrowed slightly. As Ya Mi walked past her, and it seemed she wanted to go to Xia You's side, Zhu Lan reached out and grabbed Ya Mi's wrist.

!! ?

Yami turned to look at Zhulan in surprise, but Zhulan didn't even look at her, only staring at Xia You.

Xia You's gaze also fell on Zhu Lan's hand. Seeing that Zhu Lan had no intention of letting go, he vaguely felt something was wrong and his brows furrowed.

What are you doing?

"That's enough for today." Zhu Lan's lips curled into a cold smile. "But this isn't over yet. I want to have a serious fight with you, not a casual battle like this, but a fair and square six-on-six duel!"

Zhu Lan's tone left no room for refusal; it felt as if she had truly made up her mind to fight Xia You to the death.

Xia You clicked her tongue in surprise.

This petty woman...

"Alright, alright." He shrugged. "Then let's have a serious fight. But why did you arrest her?"

Zhu Lan's smile grew even colder.

"Don't think I don't know you want to agree now and then disappear! She's your woman, right? Then she'll be your hostage!"

Your guess was quite accurate...

“There’s no need for all that trouble.” Xia You sighed, knowing that Zhu Lan was determined, and said, “If you’re worried, I can fight you right now… of course, the kind of fair and square fight you’re talking about.”

“I don’t have that much time to waste here right now.” Zhu Lan remained unmoved, and clearly had her own plans. “I’ve already wasted enough time. I have to get back to Shenhe Town. If you still want this woman, then come find me in Shenhe Town. I believe you know where I will be!”

God and Town?

Hearing her mention this, Xia You knew that the incident at the God and Town Museum was probably not over yet, and Zhu Lan was still guarding the precious pearl there, wary of Team Galactic trying to steal it.

If it weren't for this sudden incident, she would probably still be there.

But did she think that by capturing Yami, she could threaten herself?

Just as he was about to have Gengar rescue Sparrow, Sparrow, who had been captured by Cynthia, spoke up first.

"I understand!"

As soon as she spoke, Xia You and Zhu Lan's eyes were all focused on her.
